The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has appointed Delhi-based criminal lawyer Shri Singh as the Special Public Prosecutor to represent the NIA in the Pahalgam terror attack case, ensuring swift legal action and justice for the victims.
The NIA has secured a five-day remand for two Pahalgam residents, Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar, for allegedly harboring terrorists behind April’s attack that killed 26 tourists. They provided shelter and support to the attackers, confirming their identities as Pakistani militants linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba. Further investigations are ongoing.
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee criticized the central government for security failures related to the lethal Pahalgam terror attack, demanding prompt arrests of terrorists. She labeled the incident a “total failure” of the Union government, emphasizing the need for improved national security measures and condemning the use of military sacrifices for political gain.
The Allahabad High Court granted interim bail to Dr. Medusa, alias Madri Kakoti, an assistant professor, regarding social media posts about the Pahalgam terror attack. An FIR, filed by an ABVP leader, accused her of threatening national integrity. The case raises concerns over free speech limits and anti-national expressions.
